Day after I bought it for $1000
With 30-9.50's
With coil spacers and shackles with 32-11.50's
2" springs with Warrior shackles 3" BL and 35-12.50's
3" BL and 6" of Superlift and Skyjacker extended radius arms, with SOA
It has also been converted from an automatic to a 5spd standard with LUK custom heavy duty clutch, next serious mods are a 8 point roll cage 4.56 gears (5.13's would be nicer) and a pair of sliders, and of course finish all the other little stuff like relocating the battery to the rear and either using an F150 rear gas tank or fuel cell center mounted where the spare tire would originaly be mounted.
Purchacing the door hinge repair kit so I can make my doors removable. :wink:
Then I guess well see about saving for a winch.
Some other interesting articles about the build up and mods to the Nasty Hoe:
How the transmission conversion came about!
Turn Signal Mod and Tow Hooks
Removing 3" BL, just too tall & Death Wobble
Transfer Case shift motor issues, Brain's got the hook-up!
Wider is better

I'm sure I'm missing somethings but you get the point.
Stuff like the 30-9.50 AT's, factory wheels, F150 coil spacers and lift shackles and other things were sold to offest/absorb thier cost or the cost of new things, so if I thought that is made a difference to add those I would but since they brought the monies needed to pay for themselves and other stuff it become a mute point to add them.
So the price is as it would stand for what it would cost if you were to buy a $1000 rig loose the oil pump, do all the machine work and rebuuild yourself including the head work so the price is mainly parts, convert your trans from automatic to 5spd and the lift and such.
I'm on a strict budget so I shop and barter whenever possible.
BTW you have no idea how much cheaper this is compared to racing.
Happy Wheeling, Jeff - :navajo:
